I say NO to the Spring Valley Water District!

The proposed Spring Valley Water District will open a Pandora's Box of development in the bucolic area known as Greater Teatown. Currently, the area is served by groundwater wells that encourage thoughtful land use policies and engages the community in protecting a wide range of natural resources.

Allowing municipal water in this area opens the door to high density development such as large sub-divisions and office parks. High density development in turn will have ecosystem impacts well beyond the borders of Greater Teatown. These impacts include run off that ultimately impact the Hudson River and the New York City watershed.

Let's not turn Greater Teatown into one more over-developed area that will further pollute the environment!
